About the campaign
Everyone deserves to be safe and know how to keep the people they care about safe too. Friends for Life is a campaign to inform and educate people about:
- What illicit fentanyl is and how it's affecting our community
- How to help friends and family avoid things like fentanyl
- How to spot and respond to an opioid overdose
- How to access and use naloxone (Narcan)
The Friends for Life campaign was created originally by the Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) to prevent overdose deaths in Washington. In partnership with HCA, Deschutes County Health Services has funded expansion of the campaign to raise awareness about naloxone and prevent overdose deaths in Deschutes County.
